Why is it important to apply a primer prior to painting?
Because it will avoid problems with
- old oil-based paint (you ABSOLUTELY need a primer over an oil-based paint before painting with water-based/acrylic pain)
- patches made of different material (patches of plaster for example) that would react differently from other parts of the wall
- bare surfaces (new walls) which won't give good adherence
- colour changes (if painting over walls of different colours, the result will look different with the first layer(s) of paint. The primer can help)
What is the best product to use on previously painted aluminum siding?
With vinyl siding cleaner, that can be obtained from a home store or a build supply company.
Then you use a garden hose to wash it off. NEVER, use a pressure washer to wash off vinyl siding.
Vinyl siding has a very thing sealer over it, almost like gloss paint, when you use a pressure wash on it, it can destroy this sealer and if you look at some houses very close you will notice that the siding looks dull and has no shine to it, and it can also look chalky,
once this happens the vinyl can not protect against dirt and the sun.
If you have a two story house, or it is too hard for you to do this, and you call a company,
make sure they do NOT use a stream, it must be a very fine mist or it will damage the siding.
Remember, some good siding cleaner and a garden hose and a very soft brush is the best way to clean your siding and to keep it lasting as long as it can.

Sandpaper is used to add a nice, smooth finish to a piece of wood or to an object made out of timber.
When a fine smooth finish is required on an object's surface, different grades of sandpaper are used to rub down the surface, starting with the coarsest grade and working through to the finest grade. The rough texture of the sand stuck to the surface of the paper scratches off the roughness of the object's surface making it progressively smoother. Frequently sandpaper is used between the application of layers or "coats" of paint.
Sandpaper may also be used to file fingernails or remove rough areas of calluses on the skin.
Well first you have to dismantle all the bike parts from the bike. Separate wheels from body and take out all the brakes and stickers. Then remove all the old paint and scratches from the bike. To remove the old paint, take a sheet of sand paper and rub it against the parts that you want to paint. Rub until you see a silver metal under the paint. After you have done that, you are ready to paint your bike. (For BEST results i prefer using spray paint for metal, because it sticks better to it.) Take a spray paint and spray the first coat. Than wait 5-10 minutes for paint to dry than spray the second layer. For more darker color, make it 3 layers. So here you go! Enjoy!

Can you spray urethane primer over fresh base coat?
It is generally not recommended to spray urethane primer over a fresh base coat, as the solvents in the primer can react with the base coat, leading to issues like lifting or wrinkling. If you need to apply a primer over a base coat, it's best to wait for the base coat to fully cure and ensure it is clean and properly prepared. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility and best practices before proceeding.

Do you need a special paint for corrugated steel?
Paint? No. Primer? YES. Corrugated steel is galvanized so you will need an etching galvanized metal primer. Regular paint or primer will peel off in no time! The etching primer as you can guess by the name actually reacts with the steel for a better bond. The steel should be sandblasted beforehand, or al least pressure washed thoroughly. The paint will adhere to the primer. Go to any real paint store (not a big box store with a paint department), let them know what you want to do and they will be glad to help and answer any questions.
